DEAR MICHAEL

On the day of Sicko’s expansion to over 400 screens, John Pierson, who repped Roger and Me and namechecked Michael Moore in the title of his Spike, Mike, Slackers and Dykes, sends an open letter to the director. While citing Sicko as Moore’s best filmmaking to date, he brings up the issues about Moore raised in the doc Manufacturing Dissent and discusses the goals of political filmmaking in general.
